I'm reading this thread with interest as I've been playing around with the smtp 
filter trying to optimize it too. but I'm lacking in knowledge on the smtp 
commands. Is there a good tutorial you would recommend?

        Hi Jim
        
        After enabling the SMTP Filter and setting the NOOP length to 20 bytes,
        I then started getting the following alerts from my Firewall:
        
        ISA Server alert: An unknown SMTP command
        XXXX ASTPROXY01.AST.CO.ZA
        XXXX TCEN-UL-MAILSV01.TELKOM.CO.ZA
        XXXX SMTP.LANTIC.NET
        XXXX NS2.DHV.NL
        XXXX MFCS002.SAMANCORCR.CO.ZA
        XXXX JS000414.JOBSERVE.COM
        XXXX AVEROMAR01.POVOAHOLDINGS.COM
        etc
        etc
        etc
        
        Do you perhaps know where I may start trying to figure out what exactly
        these commands are that I need to enable? (BTW, I have a linux-based
        sendmail server - no fancy schmancy exchange servers for me :(
        
        Thanks
        William R.

        Generally, 20 is seen as a good upper limit for NOOP.
        AUTH should be 1024, if you enable it.
        Don't expect to screen HTML mail; the screener doesn't seem to like
        them.

        Hi there
        
        
        
        My original installation of ISA Server excluded the setup of the SMTP
        filter as I appeared to have problems with receiving mail etc. I have
        now got some time on my hands ( yeah right.!) and would like to start
        playing with it again.
        
        
        
        I would like to know of any "out-the-box" tricks that I need to use to
        get it working properly. I know for one thing that the default NOOP
        value of 6 is apparently too small. Could someone please let me know
        what a more acceptable NOOP setting is, as well as any other
        variables/settings that I need to customise, or be on the lookout for.
        Any reference to reading material to assist with the comprehension of
        this topic would be a great asset.
        
        
        
        Cheers
        
        William R.
